Saving mat file with prefix over loop

Hello,
Looking help in saving same .mat file with prefix over loop.
Facing error with following script:
clear all
close all
d = uigetdir();
filePattern = fullfile(d, '*.mat');
file = dir(filePattern);
for k = 1: numel(file)
baseFileName = file(k).name;
fullFileName = fullfile(d, baseFileName);
% my code here
outputBaseFileName = sprintf('Edited_%s', baseFileName);
outputFullFileName = fullfile(file(k).folder, outputBaseFileName);
save(outputFullFileName,'Variable_1','-append');
end
Error I am getting is:
Error using save
Unable to write file 'myPath\Edited_myFileName.mat'
No such file or directory.
Error in Untitled (line 29)
save(outputFullFileName,'Variable_1','-append');

outputFullFileName = fullfile(file(k).folder,, outputBaseFileName);
is not valid syntax: it has two commas in a row.
Did the error message literally give the path starting with myPath\ or did you edit that for posting purposes?
Fixed it. thanks.
But facing same error!
It looks like you are actually using code from your earlier question:
You need to define D as an existing absolute path or relative path, instead of using the literal text 'mypath' (which apparently does not exist).
nope. This is different code.
The "myPath" is just an example. actual path is C:\... something like this
You can cerate a dummy text file where you want to save your files, then compare its path+name to the output of outputFullFileName
Thing is if I use fullFileName instead of outputFullFilename it indeed saves same file with added variable.
% outputBaseFileName = sprintf('Edited_%s', baseFileName);
% outputFullFileName = fullfile(file(k).folder, outputBaseFileName);
save(fullFileName,'Variable_1','-append');
I am not sure what's wrong in here. Here is the full code here:
clear all
close all
d = uigetdir();
filePattern = fullfile(d, '*.mat');
file = dir(filePattern);
for k = 1: numel(file)
baseFileName = file(k).name;
fullFileName = fullfile(d, baseFileName);
x=load(fullFileName)
Variable_1=x.Variable_4./x.Varibale_5;
outputBaseFileName = sprintf('Edited_%s', baseFileName);
outputFullFileName = fullfile(file(k).folder, outputBaseFileName);
save(outputFullFileName,'Variable_1','-append');
end

Your Edited .mat file does not exist, so you must create it. Check to see if it exists, if it does, append. If it does not, create it.
clear all
close all
d = uigetdir();
filePattern = fullfile(d, '*.mat');
file = dir(filePattern);
for k = 1: numel(file)
% my code here
outputFullFileName = fullfile(file(k).folder,sprintf('Edited_%s', file(k).name));
if exist(outputFullFileName,'file') % file exists
save(outputFullFileName,'Variable_1','-append');
else % file is new since you made it "edited", and needs created
save(outputFullFileName,'Variable_1');
end
end

this creates Edited_ .mat file but with only Variable_1 in it. While I want to have all the other variables from oriniglal .mat file and apend with Variable_1
